===Memorial Tree – An American Holly===
A living memorial to the entire unit can be seen from Miller's marble memorial. Using military date style, the "Major Glenn Miller Army Air Forces Orchestra in service from 20 March 1943 – 15 January 1946" is carved in the black granite marker in front of an American Holly tree.<ref name="arlington" /><ref name=":1" /> The marker has etchings of a trombone and the patches of Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Force ([[Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force|SHAEF]]) and the [[United States Army Air Forces|Army Air Forces]] (AAF) on it. Before it was carved in stone, the military band's title was verified by [[Norman Leyden]] who was an arranger and clarinetist in the Major Glenn Miller Army Air Forces Orchestra. The name was also confirmed by Kathy Shenkle (Air Force, Army, and [[Arlington National Cemetery]] historian), C.F. Alan Cass, curator of the Glenn Miller Archives at the University of Colorado at Boulder,<ref name=":6" /> the Glenn Miller Birthplace Society president, and other historians and band members for the US Army and US Air Force.<ref name=":1" />

Located in Section 13 along Wilson Drive, the tree was dedicated on the 50th anniversary of Miller's death, December 15, 1994.<ref name="arlington" /><ref name=":13">"Clarinda benefits from efforts of Glenn Miller Birthplace Society", Clarinda Herald-Journal: Clarinda, Iowa, November 6, 2008.
